World No.6 Ons Jabeur has scaled great heights and become an inspiration to many for her incredible determination and hard work in a very short span of time. She has become such a popular and significant figure that a biopic is being made on her life already.

The content producer of the film, Matt Critchley, revealed a very interesting incident that the Tunisian herself narrated as to what exactly the 2023 Wimbledon loss meant for her. Jabeur had planned to have a child and raise it by taking a break after she won the Wimbledon, however, things did not go as per her plan. Speaking further about this tragedy, the World No.6 stated in the video snippet, 

It was I think the toughest loss of my career because it emotionally destroyed me. It was the tournament that I said okay I feel like I'm going to win it and then maybe I could take a break and have a baby. So not only not winning the Wimbledon but like the idea of baby just vanished with the trophy of Wimbledon.

Ons Jabeur lost her second consecutive Wimbledon final this year as she lost to Marketa Vondrousova this time around. The Tunisian had a phenomenal season but failed to clinch the title at the last moment, which left a scar on her personal and professional life as well.
